Post by: Len on 19 August 2004, 13:58: Hmmm... just like me other car. I gotta use two jacks to raise it.

The scissor jack first then the big trolley.

Hope it aint made any big dents underneath!

Post by: AdamB on 19 August 2004, 16:12: I have to slowly drive the front wheels up a couple of small blocks to graduallt raise it, before I can get a jack under it. There is only 1.5 inches clearance under the front chin spoiler and 2 inches under the sills!!

Post by: Dizzie on 19 August 2004, 17:22: I ended up jacking it back up after pivoting the jack underneath so I could get the handle in and then raising it enough to put a block of wood underneath.

Post by: Fielder5757 on 20 August 2004, 14:36: I cant raise my car with a jack anymore, The only way i can is to use the one that comes with the car, and place a piece of wood between the car and the jack in order to rase the car without damaging any of the skirts or spoilers 8)
